McEwen Inc. and Canadian Gold Corp. have completed their previously disclosed business combination by way of a statutory plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia). Under the terms of the arm’s-length arrangement, each Canadian Gold common share was exchanged for 0.0225 shares of McEwen common stock, following shareholder approval on Dec. 5, 2025, and final court approval by the Supreme Court of British Columbia. As a result of the transaction, Canadian Gold is expected to be delisted from the TSX Venture Exchange and to seek to cease being a reporting issuer under applicable Canadian securities laws.
The completion of the deal grants McEwen full ownership of the Tartan project, which management believes offers strong exploration, development, and production restart potential. The acquisition is a strategic move for McEwen, which provides its shareholders with exposure to a growing base of gold and silver production in addition to a very large copper development project, all in the Americas. The company’s gold and silver mines are located in prolific mineral-rich regions, including the Cortez Trend in Nevada, USA, the Timmins district of Ontario, Canada, and the Deseado Massif in Santa Cruz province, Argentina. McEwen is also considering reactivating a gold and silver mine in Mexico.
A significant portion of the company’s value is tied to its 46.4% interest in McEwen Copper, which owns the large, long-life, advanced-stage Los Azules copper development project in San Juan province, Argentina. According to the last financing for McEwen Copper, the implied value of McEwen’s ownership interest is US$456 million. The Los Azules copper project is designed to be one of the world’s first regenerative copper mines and carbon neutral by 2038. Its Feasibility Study results were announced in a press release dated October 7, 2025.
Chairman and Chief Owner Rob McEwen has invested over US$200 million personally and takes a salary of $1 per year, aligning his interests with shareholders. His objective is to build MUX’s profitability, share value and eventually implement a dividend policy, as he did while building Goldcorp Inc.
